I don't think that in the past there were as many characters that were fleshed out as well as these. I used to think spyro and crash were my favorite but they haven't made a decent contribution in years .... I forgot to even mention Gordon free,an but it's been so long since aHL game came out so I forgot

favorite videogame character,its a tie between the guy in my avatar,the prince of persia,sly cooper,and jade,if you go through the sands of time triology you really see how his character develops into a noble badass,that isnt your typical witty,gritty(besides warrior within)psycho character,and he is the parkour king in my opinion,as well as the king of blades,the prince is a very agile fighterand despite his size he can brawl hes taken down guys bigger than him and god like beings,and he could control time itself,nuff said.

The other character i love sly cooper hes just a cool character in general,hes like a more cartoony version of the prince for me and i guess thats why i like him also he has this entire history of cool ancestors as well as an arch nemesis thats hunted sly and his entire family for centuries.

The last jade now for me jade from beyond good and evil and mortal kombat are almost pretty darn similar,so when i mention anything it pretty much applies to both, but jade is a very cool character,shes a person that puts her friends above herself,and would do anything to help them even risking her own life,and the way she fights is very cool also shes very sneaky she gets in and then out without being seen,and the pole staff attacks are these fluent death strikes.

He's a silent protagonist who never makes his own decisions. It would make more sense to pick a supporting character rather than one who has no actual personality (although his personality is YOU). Anyway, if u seen the anime, he was given a personality, and THAT was a great personality. Not the one in the game.
